MEXICO CITY, Aug. 31 Local representatives of American
oil companies, declined today to espress opinions concerning the
action of the Supreme Court enjoining the Mexican department ol
commerce and industry from denouncing rights to oil lands held by
the Texas Company prior to May 1, If 17. They said they preferred
not to give their opinions until the text of the formal decision
of the court is published, which probably will be within ten days.
It was the general sentiment here, however, that the non-retro-activeity
of article 27, of the Mexican constitution has been definitely
decided by the decision, and that supporting the supreme court's
decision is President Obregon's reiteration that the famous article
27 never was construed by his government as bring retroactive.

A procUmation declaring martial law in five West Vsraia
counties has been drawn up and signed by the President, ready far
promulgation.
Officials, however, remained still hopeful tonight that neither
of these steps would be necessary, although their spirit of optimism
had been lowered during the day by dispatches from the disturbed
area telling of clashes between bands of armed men and state au

with the President's proclamation.
Decision as to whether the federal government will order troops
into the state and declare martial law a step wheih has not been
taken in any state since the days immediately following the Civil
war will depend on conditions as reported by Brigadier General
